on a totally different note ive been getting small shocks off my heq5 mount and finally fixed it today it was the 2 into one plug adapter at the wall the earth wasn't working sorry i had to tell someone because im chuffed i got to the bottom of even that it took six months to do something about it, well its not very often i touch the mount as i just turn it on and do everything via the pc 😀. charl.

yes it would work providing you can get focus ok" which you should be able to", but seeing none of us has tryed one you would be the cutting edge tester . you could allways email daystar to get it from the horses mouth or visit the forum but the forum is like being on the the slow boat to china. charl.

what i think it comes down to is thay recommend between f4 to f9 to maybe play it safe but in practice us solarist like to push the boundreys and still be safe, so what im saying is as far as f numbers go its a suck it n see thingy with out going too crazy if you get my drift. that 80mm AA scope would work well, the scope you planning to use would work well "as Stu says"but if your wanting close ups using as little glass as possable a longer f would be a advantage and that what the quark dos best in my view. but im strange my mother told me 😀. charl.

thanks Stu, i carnt discount a 60mm mate, i can only comment on my own kit. id love to try a 60mm getting a full disc would be good to have, i have one on my shopping list as soon as my funds allow "or the misses wants to be good to me"😀. im fancing one of Altair Astro ones. charl.

just to show the diff in a f5 and a f11.5 . shot a day apart but the seeing was about the same not the greatist of shots but it shows the difference f5. f11.5
-
i use f5 to f11.5 Stu, and the higher F wins every time mate aslong as ive got the seeing but when the seeings pants the ed80 works well i think its about a f7.5. charl.
-
yes it would work, but the aperture is only 60mm which is a tad counter productive to the quark but saying that ive never try one and wouldnt know for sure untill i do. charl. p.s a friend of mine in the states Lowjiber has i think use his with small 60mm scope not a tak and had good results if you would like to send him a message he prob knows a bit more than me
-
i agree with Dave , the taks a lovely little scope but it would be counter productive with the quark which plays best at hi mag. a simple f8-f12 100mm doublet would get best over all . charl.

AR152 988mm F/6.5 + Quark vs AR102 F/10 + PST Mod2?
xtreemchaos replied to astrorg's topic in Imaging - Discussion
you get as much as you would ever need from a Quark, but i would advise getting a look through a setup before buying if you have a club near. with a 150 mm you would also need a front mounted ERF. charl. -
